Some people like to have their posts link to a “stacked list” of articles instead of the full 
article. This modification to the Genesis Featured Post Widget adds a checkbox to the widget 
configuration that will tell the widget to link to the category page instead of linking to 
the article directly.

Featured Post Widget – Link to Category

Modification of StudioPress Featured Post Widget that enables an override link to the category.

Yet Another Featured Posts Plugin (YAFPP) provides an easy interface to feature posts in your WordPress blog. Simply check the ‘featured stars’ associated with each post in WordPress’ post listing screen to feature or unfeature a post. This info is posted immediately to your WordPress settings using AJAX.
This interface for featuring/unfeaturing posts is a big step up from other featured posts plugins, which make you enter a string of IDs.
Additionally, YAFPP provides a number of output options for WP developers – you can echo out or return an HTML formatted string of featured posts, return an array of featured post data or manipulate WordPress’ The_Loop.
Using these display options you can easily display a thumbnail with each featured post, or otherwise modify the list of featured posts according to your setup.
Not a developer? Beginners can also display thumbnails with their featured posts by installing <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/yet-another-photoblog/" title="Yet Another Photoblog" rel="ugc">YAPB</a>. YAFPP interfaces nicely with YAPB, and allows you to display YAPB thumbnails along with your normal featured posts output.
